Contributions summary:Stuart refactored the `slides` project to implement Vim-like navigation, enhancing user interaction. Their work involved modifying the `internal/model` and `internal/navigation` packages to support commands like "G", "gg", and numeric prefixes for slide navigation. This involved the creation of new functions, state management, and thorough testing to ensure the new navigation features functioned correctly. The refactoring also focused on separating concerns between the model and navigation logic.
